Mold Industry Industry

Mold manufacturing is typically a custom process driven by specific customer needs, characterized by single-item, small-batch production. This results in high order variability, frequent design changes, stringent quality demands, and short delivery times. Consequently, the process faces many uncertainties, making control and management challenging, and complicating successful digital transformation.

Challenges

Customized by Order, Frequent Changes

The order-based custom production model involves concurrent design, procurement, and production. This results in a large workload for order planning and task division, with difficulties in following task execution progress. Frequent changes in customer requirements and design make manual planning challenging and delivery schedules hard to control.

Market Demands for Fast Delivery and Flexible Production

With increasing market competition and diverse customer demands, mould manufacturing enterprises need to offer rapid delivery and flexible production capabilities. This requires organizations to organize resources more efficiently and optimize processes to gain competitiveness.

Disconnection Between Planning and Production

It is difficult to coordinate the relationship between production planning and both external environments and internal resources for rapidly changing market demands. A lack of data support and quantitative analysis prevents holistic production planning optimization, resulting in low production efficiency and high production costs.

Information Silos Between Multiple Systems

Lack of comprehensive planning leads to systems with varying functions, differing roll-out times, and major differences in logic from different system suppliers. This results in data lacking correlation, incompatible databases, obstructed data sharing across business levels, duplicate tasks, and low efficiency in multi-system applications.

Need for Intelligent and Automation Transformation:

With the ongoing development of intelligent manufacturing and automation technology, enterprises need to adapt and introduce related technologies, such as smart equipment, robotics, and automated production lines, to increase production efficiency, lower costs, and meet quality and delivery time demands from clients.
